Police say a man tried to set a car on fire with his girlfriend inside, according to Sgt. Craig Stout with the Fayetteville Police Dept.

Investigators believe Jason Mason and his girlfriend were having an argument at 3425 Buckeye Street around 8:50 p.m. Tuesday night, according to Sgt. Stout.

Police say Mason poured gas on her car and tried to set it on fire, said Stout. Mason was not at the scene when officers arrived.

Mason called his parole officer Wednesday morning, said Stout. Police expect him to turn himself in Wednesday afternoon.

In 2011, Mason was arrested for possession with the intent to deliver cocaine and with possession of firearm. In another incident in January 2011, Mason was charged with possession of marijuana, said Stout.
